Shellharbour Polypropylene Carpet


Polypropylene carpet is one of the most practical flooring choices. It is affordable, moisture-resistant and made to withstand everyday life. At More on the Floor, we supply and install polypropylene carpet throughout Shellharbour, Wollongong, Kiama and Dapto, helping homeowners, landlords and budget-conscious renovators get the job done without overspending.


If you’re weighing up polyester carpets for softness or looking at sheet vinyl flooring for utility, polypropylene gives you the best of both worlds. It’s lightweight, stain-resistant and doesn’t absorb moisture, which makes it perfect for garages, rentals or rumpus rooms.


Available in a range of basic colours and looped textures, it’s a solid choice for areas that need a quick, low-maintenance flooring solution. Call (02) 4297 6188 to talk through your options and book a free quote.

Rugged, Reliable & Cost-Effective


Polypropylene carpet isn’t trying to be fancy—it’s here to do a job. It’s UV-stable, resists moisture and doesn’t hold onto stains, making it ideal for outdoor areas, utility rooms and any part of the house that takes a beating.


Its fibres don’t soak up water, so it dries quickly and won’t harbour mould or mildew. That makes it a smart fit for entryways, laundry rooms or even home offices on a slab.


While it doesn’t have the plush feel of nylon or the luxe warmth of wool, it’s tough, economical and easy to keep clean—especially in rental or investment properties where durability matters most.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Does polypropylene carpet have a strong chemical smell?

    Polypropylene carpet can have a noticeable chemical smell when first installed, often described as a plastic or synthetic odour. This is due to off-gassing from the manufacturing process, which is common with many synthetic materials. The smell typically fades within a few days to a week, especially with good ventilation. While it's not harmful, those with sensitivities may find it unpleasant at first. If you're concerned, airing out the space and keeping windows open can help speed up the process and reduce the initial odour.

  • How long does polypropylene carpet last?

    Polypropylene carpet typically lasts between 5 to 10 years, depending on the quality of the material and the amount of foot traffic it receives. It’s considered a budget-friendly option, often used in rental properties, low-traffic rooms, or short-term commercial applications. While it resists moisture and stains well, it can flatten or wear down faster than nylon or wool, especially in high-use areas. Regular vacuuming and avoiding heavy furniture can help extend its life, but it’s best suited for spaces where affordability outweighs long-term durability.

  • Is polypropylene carpet suitable for outdoor use?

    Yes, polypropylene carpet is often used in outdoor or semi-outdoor settings like patios, balconies or covered alfresco areas. It’s highly resistant to moisture, mould and mildew, which makes it a practical option for areas exposed to humidity or occasional dampness. However, while it holds up well under the sun, prolonged UV exposure may eventually cause fading. It’s best suited for shaded outdoor areas or places with indirect sunlight. Keep in mind it’s still a carpet, so it performs best on clean, level surfaces and benefits from occasional cleaning to maintain appearance.
